"It is a mistake to suppose that the public wants the environment protected or their lives saved and that they will be grateful to any idealist who will fight for such ends.

I guess it's time to update your Android device. Ahem... I meant it's time to pray your manufacturer of choice decides to provide an update for you.

The more I think about it, I do have a rather specific need in a 3D design tool:

I'm mostly trying to build space efficient / well designed cases for ESP/Arduino devices, along with a couple of sensors & attachments (e.g. temperature/humidity/motion sensors, LED display etc).

All their physical dimensions and pin layouts are well defined, so surely there must be some kind of tool, which comes with design templates and can auto-arrange an efficient case for you?

Right?! Please say I'm right.

The #35c3 just started and the streams are live!

If you want to download video/audio of talks, here's your yearly reminder that I wrote a little console tool called "sync3c" to automatically filter & sync talks from any #ccc event for you:
